Abstract


The attempt to expresse in conceptual formulae taken from the philosophical tradition the unprecedented novelty of contemporary totalitarianism, casts a peculiar light over the much debated question of the responsibility of thought in the genesis of catastrophe. And the necessity of resorting to central categories of contemporary philosophy -the notion of world of life, of nihilistic destiny in the technical world- in order to invert them and thus place under some concept the most genuine form of totalitarianism, reconsiders in an also unusual light the decisive matter of whether it is possible, and how, that the philosophical thought can be "up to" what the century has revealed. The work of Hannah Arendt and the Jewish thinker Emil Fackenheim guide the simultaneous advance in both problems.
